quasi-. 1. a combining form meaning âresembling,â âhaving some, but not all of the features of,â used in the formation of compound words: quasi-definition; quasi-monopoly; quasi-official; quasi-scientific. Origin. < Latin quasi as if, as though, equivalent to qua(m) as + sÄ« if. Can be confused.
Firstly, quasi is from Latin, meaning âas ifâ or âalmostâ. Used as a prefix, as in quasi â government, quasi-cuisine, quasi-this, quasi-that and virtually quasi-anything. As if it were. Lets use quasi-Italian food as an example. Per definition this means that it is not the real thing, so to speak. So, it is not a genuine Italian dish, but is similar or has certain characteristics of an Italian dish.
